Academics
71% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention is strong at 86%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. 22% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. A 20:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 401 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $15,245 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The income table below is the number that matters — $14,809 at $0–30k versus $23,253 at $48–75k. 91% of students get grant aid averaging $9,254, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 14% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

| $0–30k | $14,809 |
| $30–48k | $13,907 |
